Erotic Paranormal Romance

Istanbul, Turkey – the Present

Jillian Moss expects her trip to Istanbul to be one of pleasure and relaxation.   Her brother Andy and her sister-in-law Darlene are there on business and invite her to join them.  Once Jill arrives, she is paired with Kivanç Demir, a member of Gentleman Inc., men who are completely dedicated to giving their client anything and everything they need.

Jill is instantly attracted to Kivanç and is willing to take whatever perks he is willing to offer.  Their chemistry is off the charts and the sex is absolutely amazing.  Before long, the two fall for each other and take their relationship in a different direction.  During one of their trysts, Kivanç takes Jill to an ancient, hidden underground city in Istanbul.  While in the underground tunnel, the two are attacked and barely escape with their lives.  The only thing that saves them is Jill’s ability to communicate with ghosts.

Neither Jill nor Kivanç knows why anyone would try to kill them, but to stay alive they must find out immediately!

Jill is a woman with secrets.  She has never told anyone that she can hear ghosts.  Jill is afraid that everyone will think she is crazy.  Strong and intelligent, Jill is not afraid to go for what she wants and tries her best to make the most of bad situations.

Kivanç is a smooth-talking sharp-dressing Casanova.  He knows the right things to say and says them with passion and sensuality.  He is quite charismatic and it is easy to understand why Jill falls for him so quickly.  As the story progresses, readers will see that there is much more to Kivanç than meets the eye.  Underneath that suave demeanor and sexy charm he has the heart of a soldier.

I loved the inclusion of the mystery of Hecate, the moon goddess.  Readers learn along with Kivanç and Jill what really happened to Hecate as they try to make right the wrongs afflicted on the goddess.  In the midst of all of this action and suspense is great sex.  The chemistry between Jill and Kivanç is tangible and progresses at a believable rate. 

Secondary characters include all of the thugs determined to kill Jill and Kivanç.  They are all perfectly drawn out and add quite a bit of excitement.  Other important characters are the ghosts.  They help steer the story and play very important roles in the survival of the main characters.

I enjoyed WHISPERING.  Once I began reading, I couldn’t put the e-book down.  I recommend WHISPERING to readers looking for much more than just a sex-fest.
